There is no such thing as a driver’s blind spot if your mirrors are adjusted correctly. [December 8, 2013] While at an intersection, move your driver’s side mirror to the left until you can see the front of the vehicle in your driver’s side “blind spot”. Do the same with the passenger side-view mirror, moving the mirror to the right. If you can see either side of your vehicle, your side-view mirrors are not adjusted correctly. With properly adjusted mirrors, you never need to turn your head to see the vehicles on either side of your own vehicle.

Marilyn responds:

Thank you, Bruce. I’m a New Yorker now, and I don’t drive a car anymore. (Yay!) But when I drove a lot in the past, despite the fact that I knew my side-view mirrors were adjusted correctly, I never could resist the temptation to turn my head briefly.
